Somewhere during the last 10 years, Brooklyn’s novelty wore off. It was no longer surprising that a person would run a supper club out of their loft; a BDSM dungeon, on the other hand, or a venue out of a cheese cave, now that was original.

Businesses that embodied the DIY, creative spirit of the “new” Brooklyn disappeared; the old ones that represented the Brooklyn that would never change died, too. For a moment it …
Borough Presidents Adams goes on strange rant at opening of affordable housing for LGBTQ seniors
Borough President Eric Adams went on a bizarre rant at the opening of the city’s first affordable housing development for LGBTQ seniors on Dec. 17, when he invoked slavery, and predicted that incoming residents would clash with locals at a nearby public housing complex. “I think about Frederick Douglass and the conversation about fighting for the independence of America,” Adams said. “He said ‘the arrogance of that those want me to fight for independence when I’m still a slave.’ I can’t celebrate a building that is not inclusive.” The beep’s tirade — which was heard via an audio recording obtained by this paper’s sister publication, Gay City News …
